CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE 600E DIGITAL BAGGAGE SCALE The 600E Series of Digital Baggage Scales are general-purpose scales used to weigh baggage and freight of all sizes. They have dual remote digital displays and keypad. The displays and key- pad are designed to be flush panel mounted to provide a stream lined finish.
3. Remove the locknuts from the four (4) Leveling Feet. Thread the leveling feet all the way into the nuts welded in all four (4) corners of the scale lower frame (see fig. 2-2). Once the leveling feet are installed thread the locknuts back onto the top side of the leveling feet (hand tight).
is approximately ½” above the opening and so that the scale is in a level position. Tighten the locknuts on the leveling feet. 7. Use the Scale Anchor Holes at each corner (see fig. 2-2) to secure the scale base in place with the eight (8) wood screws provided.
back onto the scale. Turn the scale on with the on/off switch located on the remote keypad. 5. Remove the stainless steel top and disconnect all cables from the control module. Place the scale base in the location provided (between ticket counters). 6.
the scale base in the location provided (bag well). 5. Center the frame in the opening. Adjust the leveling legs so that the scale base is in a level position. Make sure there is equal pressure on all four leveling feet. 6.

Figure 2-14: Pin assignments for the DSUB9 serial port connector CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY 1. The scale ships standard with an external AC to DC adapter. Simply plug the AC adapter into the control module’s DC Power Jack first, and then plug into a standard wall outlet (120-240 VAC).
CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW Note: Your scale has been configured at the factory. Do not attempt to enter the Setup Menu unless you are a trained scale technician The scale contains two main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu which configures the scale to your weigh platform and the User (“A”) menu which configures the serial communication port and enables some user options.
USER (“A”) MENU 3.3.1 ENTERING THE USER MENU 1. Enter the Setup (“F”) menu by following the directions in Section 3.2.1. 2. Use the right or left directional keys shown in Figure 3-1 to move right or left in the Setup (“F”) menu until the scale shows ”...
3.3.3 NOTES ON THE USER MENU 1. Detailed descriptions of the user menu parameters can be found in Chapter 5 of this manual. 3.3.4 EXITING THE USER MENU 1. Exit the User (“A”) menu by following the directions in Section 3.2.4. The display will go through a digit check, then settle into Normal Operating mode.

pounds. To change the threshold use the “Print” or “Lb/Kg” key to Bag Limit move the flashing digit left or right. Use the “Zero” key to increment Threshold the digit. Use the “Accu” key to set the desired value. USER MENU PROCEDURES This section provides instructions for all of the User Menu procedures.
CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW The scale is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in F16 (Zero) and F17 (Span) of the Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the scale's non-volatile memory - F16 the zero value (deadweight) and F17 the span value (test weight). The minimum test weight that can be used is 1% of full-scale capacity.
5. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "EndC1" momentarily, then revert back up to F17. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see Section 6.4). 6. If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration.

Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. A valid span calibration value, obtained from a successful F17 calibration procedure, must be used. 1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 20", then scroll down once using the ZERO key. 2.
CHAPTER 7: OPERATION 7.1 DISPLAY The Model 600E indicator utilizes a 6-digit LED (Light Emitting Diode) to display weight and system information. 7.1.1 LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) DISPLAY Figure 7-1 shows the display detail of the 600E LED display.

7.2.1 FUNCTION KEYS lb/kg – This key toggles the indicator between lb and kg units if enabled in the User (“A”) Menu. See Chapter 5 for more information. Zero - This key sets the indicator to display zero and resets the bag accumulator provided the following conditions are met: 1.

APPENDIX B: SERIAL PORT INFORMATION SERIAL PORT MODES B.1.1 FULL DUPLEX MODE The Full Duplex Mode provides a Demand serial transmission mode and is selected by setting A3 to “d” and A6 to “0”. The Demand mode allows control from a host device, usually a PC, and can be activated by pressing the PRINT key on the keypad.
B.1.1.1 RECOGNIZED HOST COMMANDS “P” - This command is sent to the indicator to print the indicated display. The indicator will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. “Z” - This command is sent to the indicator to zero the scale. The indicator will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload.
B.1.3 SIMPLEX MODE The Simplex Mode provides a continuous serial transmission mode and is selected by setting A3 to “C” and A6 to “0”. The Continuous mode is used to interface to computers, scoreboards, and other remote devices requiring constant data updating. The transmission occurs at the end of each display update.
APPENDIX C: DETERMINING PROPER SPAN GAIN (F2) SPAN GAIN OVERVIEW The Span Gain parameter found in F2 of the Setup Menu is directly related to the ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) integration time. This means that the lower the setting, the higher the number of measurements per second.
APPENDIX D: DISPLAYED ERROR CODES CODE MODE MEANING / POSSIBLE SOLUTION Normal Operating Gross Overload. A weight greater than the rated capacity has been Mode applied to the scale. Remove the weight from the platter or try re- calibrating the scale. Otherwise, check for a bad load cell connection or possible load cell damage due to overloading.
